AGC's 2026 Workforce Conference Wants Contractor-Led Presentations

AGC is accepting presentation proposals for its 2026 Construction Workforce and HR Conference, scheduled for October 21-23 in Phoenix, AZ. The conference is structured around practical, contractor-sourced solutions rather than theory, and AGC is specifically soliciting submissions from construction professionals, HR leaders, and workforce practitioners. The article covers the call for proposals and the conference’s general focus. Submission deadline details are in the linked registration page.

The talent problem in construction does not get better by attending panels where consultants describe the talent problem. The sessions worth attending, and worth submitting for, are the ones where a GC superintendent explains how they cut turnover by 30% in year two, or how a mid-size firm rebuilt its apprentice pipeline after losing three journeymen in one quarter. If your firm has solved something real on the workforce side, submitting here puts that knowledge in front of the people who need it most. And if you’re struggling with subcontractor coverage gaps driven by thin trade labor pools, understanding how your sub bench is actually distributed across active pursuits is the first step. Comms Center’s trade coverage visualization shows exactly which CSI trades are covered per project and which are empty. Learn more at commscenter.com.
